NBC cuts Madonna 'crucifixion'
Posted: 21 October 2006 - From BBC News

Concert footage of Madonna suspended from a giant cross is to be cut from a US television broadcast. NBC said the mock crucifixion, staged during the song Live to Tell on the star's recent Confessions tour, would be cut from next month's transmission.  US and European church groups have condemned the mock crucifixion.  But Madonna has insisted it is not 'anti-Christian, sacrilegious or blasphemous', and is part of an appeal for donations to Aids charities.
A number of US religious groups threatened to boycott one of the broadcast's commercial sponsors if the crucifixion was included.
An NBC spokesman did not explain the move, saying the broadcaster did not discuss editorial decisions.
Liz Rosenberg, a Warner Bros Records spokeswoman for Madonna, told Reuters news agency: 'She wanted it in, and they wanted it out. You won't see Madonna on a crucifix. That element of the song is no longer in the show. How they came to that conclusion I really don't know.'
In Germany, prosecutors monitored the show to see if legal action should be taken.
And a priest in the Netherlands was arrested after making a hoax bomb threat in an attempt to stop the concerts.
The crucifix segment shows the singer suspended from a giant mirrored cross wearing a crown of thorns.
Images of poverty in the developing world are shown on video screens, while numbers tick away to represent the 12m African children orphaned by Aids.
Madonna has said: 'It is no different than a person wearing a cross. My performance is neither anti-Christian, sacrilegious or blasphemous.'
She added: 'It is my plea to the audience to encourage mankind to help one another. I believe in my heart that if Jesus were alive today he would be doing the same thing.'
The four-month Confessions world tour was the highest-earning show by a female artist, according to US magazine Billboard.

Welcome Davie Banda Mwale Ciccone Ritchie
Posted: 19 October 2006 - From The Arizona Republic

Madonna has decided to give her adopted son husband Guy Ritchie's surname.
Malawian baby David will keep his full surname Banda Mwale as his middle names, and will also take his new mother's maiden name Ciccone as a third middle name.
Madonna, 48, made the decision out of respect for David's family heritage, but also to welcome into her own family.
Yesterday David's father Yohane returned to his work spraying potato crops, for which he earns 54 pence a day.
Speaking from crop fields in blistering temperatures, Yohane said: 'I'm not really missing David because we have agreed with Madonna that he will visit us here in three or four years time.'
'I am not asking for anything from Madonna, but when David grows up and is brought here and sees our poverty, he will certainly ask his mum to help.'
David's father took the 13-month-old baby to an orphanage after his mother died and he could no longer afford to look after him properly.
While Madonna attended the gym yesterday she sent an assistant to buy clothes for David and demanded video footage be sent to her mobile phone so she could approve the outfits.
The singer and her director husband Guy already have a son together, six-year-old Rocco, and Madonna has a ten-year-old daughter Lourdes from her relationship with personal trainer Carlos Leon.
